Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernandez has confirmed the Catalan club are looking into bringing back Gerard Deulofeu in the summer.
Deulofeu signed for Everton for €6 million in 2015 in a deal which included various clauses which would allow Barca to re-sign the winger.
That didn't look likely given the Spanish international's form at Goodison Park, but his career has come back to life following a January loan move to AC Milan.
"Deulofeu is absolutely an option for the future," Fernandez told TV3 on Saturday after Barca's 3-2 win over Real Sociedad in La Liga.
